Musical Fanfare! [Closed]
(locked)

Hello again, and welcome to the voting thread of Musical Fanfare! Before we begin, I’d like to offer my condolences to WiiPlayer113’s third song, Mason Jennings – Train Leaving Grey, which was kicked out before we began.

In any case, allow me to explain how this thread is going to work. Every day, two songs are going to be up for vote. You may vote for one or the other. You may not vote for a song not in the current bracket. You can announce your vote by bolding it, as shown. Don’t PM it to me, because it won’t be counted. If one of the songs up for vote is yours, you will already be considered as having voted for it, but you may vote for the other song if you so choose. You may not change your vote once it has been cast. At the end of the day, the song with the fewer votes shall be eliminated, and the other shall move on. Should you have any questions or wish me to clarify anything, feel free to ask.

Some things I already forgot to mention.
1) Anyone may vote in any round. You do not need to have a nomination up to vote. Nor do you need to feel obligated to vote every day.
2) Remember that musical tastes are subjective. Someone may like a song that you absolutely despise. Don’t start a flame war over it.
3) Tied votes shall be resolved by sudden death. The round will continue into next, but the very next person to vote on that round (having not already voted for the round) shall decide the winner.

Slight rule change from here on, folks. In the interest of ending this game before February, until the end of the second Round, there will now be two pairs of songs going up for vote at the same time. You may cast one vote in each pairing.

Well, neither one is exactly for my taste, and it’s hard to compare two completely different types/styles of music that serve a different purpose and are almost nothing like each other. However, judging from a slightly objective viewpoint, the Disgaea song was composed of many more elements that were clearly arranged in a much more complicated way to give you that feeling of chaos that it’s supposed to emit, as opposed to Guilty, which had a calm, classy feel to it – one of those songs that make you imagine yourself in an old room with a yellow, floral-pattern wallpaper and a dusty record player in the corner, with one of those big ancient black records filling the room with music. It paints a picture, but as a composition, I think I prefer the chaotic one, simply because it sounds like it had more effort put into it.

Thank you for your attention.

Disgaea 3’s Openeing Theme was an overlong advertising jingle of no artistic merit whatsoever. The fact that no musician(s) or writer(s) were credited on the page, and that all the comments were about the game itself is very telling. Guilty wasn’t really my thing, but it at least qualifies as music.

Thank you for your attention.

Simply meshing sound together to create chaos does not mean more effort was put into it and therefore makes the chaotic song better than the classy one.
